What sets us apart

Our practice philosophy

At Whitesides Orthodontics, we believe in treating each patient and their family the way we’d want to be treated: with compassion and respect. We understand that each person presents a unique set of clinical needs and goals, so we work with them to determine the orthodontic plan that will straighten their teeth and create a confident, beautiful smile.

For us, orthodontics is about the people we serve. Each person is a remarkable individual, and during their orthodontic treatment, we get to know them on a personal level. Our team looks forward to our patients’ visits, not just to see the progress we’re making on their new smile, but to catch up on what’s been happening in their lives. We love creating smiles for people we care about!
